Running two video players at the same time

[orenzav]

Is there a recommended way to run two instances of the player at once? I have two working, one in a main window and the other in a top level window but they run very slow. Any help would be appreciated

I can't tell how slow its running without an reproducible example or video, but the below code did fine on small video clip.

import tkinter as tk
from tkVideoPlayer import TkinterVideo


def top():

    toplevel = tk.Toplevel(root)
    

    videoplayer2 = TkinterVideo(master=toplevel, scaled=True)
    videoplayer2.load(r"test.mp4")
    videoplayer2.pack(expand=True, fill="both")
    videoplayer2.play() # play the video


root = tk.Tk()

videoplayer = TkinterVideo(master=root, scaled=True)
videoplayer.load(r"test.mp4")
videoplayer.pack(expand=True, fill="both")

videoplayer.play() # play the video

top()

root.mainloop()

Thanks, the two videos I'm playing are 640x360. Both appear fine when played at very small size and one runs fine at correct size when played by itself, but when I play scaled up to the above size I'm seeing stuttering and frame drops, looking at a slow down of 2-3 seconds over a 25sec clip. Would this be expected? Running on a pi4
